Autographed Letter Signed in Italian

Rome: 1910.

3 pages each measuring 7 x 4.25 inches, on "Oamera Dei Deputati" letterhead, Rome, March 7, 1910. In this untranslated letter, Oliva writes to a well wisher explaining that it would be his delight to send his autograph that will grace her album. One horizontal fold; tape remnants on the back of page 3. Very good condition.

Italian lawyer, columnist, and politician. He wrote the libretto of "Manon Lescart" by Puccini, later finished by Illica, and in 1910 was one of the founders of the "Italian Nationalist Party." He served in the Italian Parliament from 1897 - 1900 before being ousted. At the age of 57, he died of a sudden heart attack, and all of his papers were eventually destroyed during World War II.

I have just received the copy of Mysterious Island by Jules Verne which I ordered previously. The book arrived in the condition in which it was sent and I am very impressed with the condition of the book. I would like to thank the staff for all of their assistance and will certainly order again!

Your beautifully wrapped package of books -- two copies of "Journal in the Night" -- arrived at my door this morning and made my day! A thousand thanks for the care you took, first to find them, and then to send them as you did, all done up with tissue paper to boot. It was like Christmas in June AND it was my first experience buying books on the Internet. All the best to you, and perhaps our paths will cross again.
